You know, whats funny about the ne of your website and fb page is that we have a car here called a holden vh and/or vk commodore or better known here as a commowhore... So you will get a lot of "bogans" liking that page thinking it's a page full of skid machines lmao

 

Haha well hopefully they look over the site and realize what it's about! Haha

 

Yeah, but that bread of human are pretty dumb, they will call you asking for the intake lol

 

You're not really doing the Z Breed many favours yourself with that...

Also, just wondering, given the name "PerformanceVHVK"... are you also planning on doing a swap for the VK56DE? THAT would be awesome.

 

Hahaha no I'm not am I :/ that's my phone you can blame

 

I'll be making some custom flanges for the VK, and I am working special intake manifold project right now

Made major progress tonight! Got the first run of engine mounts welded together!







Off to my powder coater's on Monday!

 

Quick update guys! I am getting a group buy together for vh45de rear sump oil pan flanges! These will be made from 3/16" mild steel.

Hopefully I'll get the quote for the actual pan by friday.

If I get 10 people the price is $80 per flange
If I can get 16 people on board the price will drop to $75 per oil pan flange
20 people gets it to $70 per flange

This does not include shipping. I will figure out shipping prices once the flanges have been received. If you want a complete pan welded please participate in this group buy. If you are interested please shoot me an email: info@performancevh.com

 

Will you be making complete sumps? Im keen on your kit and subscribed to your progress. But im waiting till you have the kit ready to go so I can buy it one go. This will happen down the line right?

 

Yes, I will be making complete kit. The problem is that everything is coming out of my pocket so full kits are most likely going to be made to order. I just can't sink countless hours into making oil pans, intake manifolds and what not. I'll run out of money real fast. If you want an oil pan down the road now is the time to get the best price.

 

Yay back from powder! Extremely excited to keep moving forward!

 

Their looking great my man! Doing a good job.... Keep it up

 

Removed the rear subframe today, getting ready for a complete overhaul. Ordering the energy suspension master kit, saving up for Powertrix's lovely N/A rear arms kit. Take the diff. cover off and take some measurements. Stitch weld the subframe, powder coat, and throw her back in... eventually! Swapping out the N/A diff for a Q45, along with the axles, and hubs. I'm pretty sure I'll have to use a Z32 TT driveshaft.



TwinZ Type II Bumper Test Fit! Also Winfactory CSL-R spoiler test fit.


Disassembled Dodge Charger SRT-8 Brembo Front Brake Calipers. Getting ready for powdercoat and rebuild! Matching these with some custom brackets, and 16" 370z Nismo rotors.




Also got my TBO Sideskirts, it took me forever to decide on what skirts I wanted to get... I think I made a proper decision!

 

Test fit the front wheels with the brake calipers bolted up. I have to space the wheel out 5mm to get the spokes to clear the caliper. Still will be able to keep the stock fenders without modification or camber. Just a slightly narrower tire. I'll get some Nismo wheel studs then.




Next I'm going to start disassembling the rear subframe.

 

Looking mighty cool there man. Brakes are huge! Good stuff!

 

Thanks! Making good progress with swapping the q45 rear differential, welding the front and rear subframes, and installing the poly bushings everywhere

 

How are you going with the engine swap parts? Complete set yet?

 

No complete set yet. I've been swamped with a few other small projects I needed to get finished. I finally got almost everything cleared up, I need to focus on my project for the next few weeks.
